Well the rest of our first day continued with a bang?literally. In Iowa we found ourselves driving through thunderstorm/tornado weather. We even ended up pulling over to the side of the road at one point to wait it out.When we finally reached West Des Moines (literally "west of the Moines") we (okay, maybe just Andrew) were relieved to find that Bethany's friends had a cold beer waiting for us.

That night we went out in West Des Moines with Bethany's friends Gina, James, Kris, Andy, and Vanessa.We heard several times that others were envious of our trip and they also told us they hoped that Des Moines would be the "worst day of our trip."
